Patent number: 8705352Abstract: Prioritized random access methods are proposed. According to an embodiment, random access attempts are classified into the priority levels according to delay requirements, and adedicated random access opportunities are reserved for different priority levels. A congestion detecting mechanism is introduced for such dedicated ranging (random access) opportunities. When congestion is detected by the base station, parameters or configurations of random access can be dynamically or temporarily modified through random access response message. Furthermore, a prioritized contention resolution is introduced to guarantee a high priority access is processed earlier than a low priority access. According to another embodiment, another prioritized contention resolution is introduced to reduce the impact of random access of a low priority M2M device upon H2H traffic.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chun-Yuan Chiu, Yung-Han Chen, Yan-Xiu Zheng, Yu-Chuan Fang

Patent number: 8675540Abstract: A resource allocation method and a resource indication method for E-MBS system, and a mobile station using the same are proposed. The resource units of a first service flow are allocated following the end of the E-MBS MAP of the E-MBS region, along with the increasing of frequency domain index. When the edge of the E-MBS region in frequency domain is reached, the resource units of mth service flow are continued to be allocated from top frequency domain index in next time domain index, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The resource units of m+1th service flow are allocated following the mth service flow, and such procedures are repeated until all service flows are allocated required resource units. The resource indication method indicates a specific service flow by absolute location in the E-MBS region formed based upon the resource allocation method.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2010Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Yan-Xiu Zheng, Yu-Chuan Fang, Tsung-Lien Ho, Chun-Yuan Chiu, Chang-Lan Tsai

Publication number: 20140010099Abstract: A method for controlling device-to-device (D2D) communication includes following steps. First, radio resources for a D2D communication between a first mobile device and a second mobile device are allocated. The first mobile device is a transmitting end of the D2D communication, while the second mobile device is a receiving end of the D2D communication. A resource allocation message is transmitted through a control channel by using a D2D identification code, so that the first mobile device and the second mobile device may use the D2D identification code to search for the resource allocation message in the control channel and perform the D2D communication according to the resource allocation message. The D2D identification code is an identification code of the first mobile device or the second mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2013Publication date: January 9, 2014Inventors: Chun-Yuan Chiu, Chun-Yen Wang

Publication number: 20140010175Abstract: A method for performing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ), a base station (BS), and a mobile device are provided. In the method, a wireless resource is allocated by the BS, and whether to perform a device-to-device (D2D) communication is determined. When the D2D communication is performed, a first resource allocation message is transmitted by the BS to a first mobile device and a second mobile device, and the first mobile device, working as a transmitter, transmits a data packet to the second mobile device, working as a receiver, according to the first resource allocation message. A HARQ feedback packet is received by the BS from the second mobile device to determine whether the data packet is successfully transmitted. When the HARQ feedback packet is a negative acknowledgement (NACK), the BS retains the original wireless resource or transmits a second resource allocation message to the first and the second mobile devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2013Publication date: January 9, 2014Inventor: Chun-Yuan Chiu

Publication number: 20130039309Abstract: A method for a method for renewing indication of system information, a base station using the same, a user equipment (UE) using the same, and a wireless communication system using the same is described. This disclosure proposes that renewing indication of system information and updating system information are not based on the traditional SIB (system information block) update and acquisition mechanisms. For the example of a random access (RA) procedure under extended access barring (EAB), an eNB could update EAB parameters at the time when the EAB SIB exists. Besides, a MTC (machine-type communication) device always assumes that the EAB is disabled & transmits preamble for RA directly. When the preamble is received by the eNB, the eNB notices the MTC device whether the EAB had been enabled or not. If EAB had been enabled, the MTC device interrupts current RA procedure, reads EAB SIB, and then performs EAB.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2012Publication date: February 14, 2013Applicant: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventor: Chun-Yuan Chiu
